Don't Need Validation From People: Mithali Raj On Slow Scoring

By IANS News July 04, 2021 • 18:46 PM View: 1629

Indian women's ODI captain Mithali Raj countered criticism over her slow strike rate, saying she is quite experienced to be seeking "validation from people", and that she is in the team to "play the role that is assigned" to her.

Mithali, who became the top run-getter in international cricket across all formats on Saturday, surpassing former England batter Charlotte Edwards in the third ODI, said during the post-match press conference that, "I do read that the criticism is about my strike rate, but as I have said earlier also, I don't seek validation from people. I've played for a long time and I know that I have a certain responsibility in the team."
